The School Beauty’s Super Rogue

Qin Hao didn’t take everyone’s gossip to heart.

He patted the Jin Family siblings, signaling them to calm down.

Then he flipped the ring in his palm a couple of times and put it on his finger.

Everyone just quietly watched him.

However, Qin Hao asked in confusion, "How do you even use this thing?"

"Pff!"

Many people almost dropped their jaws, followed instantly by an uproar.

"What the hell! He doesn’t even know how to use a Void Storage Ring!"

"That’s just wasting heaven’s gifts! Give it to me instead!"

"First recognize it with blood, then control it with your mind, got it?"

"Got it." Qin Hao nodded thoughtfully, bit his finger, and a drop of blood essence seeped into the ring. After that, in some mysterious way, he formed a certain connection with it.

"Open!"

Qin Hao tried whispering a word, and then his eyes turned vacant.

"Well?"

Someone nearby asked, "How big is the internal space of that Void Storage Ring?"

Qin Hao’s eyes slowly regained their sparkle, and he laughed. "None of your damn business!"

Then, pulling along the Jin Family sisters, he shoved through the crowd and strode away.

Everyone watched the three figures’ backs, choking with anger.

"Is that bastard gloating like a petty villain?"

"We can’t even ask a question? That’s too much!"

"But hey, did you guys notice, just now his expression kinda looked like he was grinning?"

"Don’t tell me the ring’s space is even bigger than we imagined?"

You could say everyone was extremely puzzled, but unfortunately Qin Hao and the others had already gone far away, and the doubts in their hearts went unanswered.

...

...

Deep in the mountain peak, inside a stone chamber.

When Kong Lingci woke up, his whole body hurt so much it felt like he was falling apart.

He didn’t have time to groan. The moment he saw Kong Denghui at the bedside, his eyes lit up, and he tore his throat shouting, "Big Brother! Why did you do that!"

He had waited so long, and he finally had the chance to ask the reason.

"Hmph!"

Kong Denghui sat down on the stool by the bed, his face especially dark. "Virtuous Brother, I only did it to save your life. If you want to blame me, I have nothing to say."

"I..." Kong Lingci had plenty of angry words lined up, but when he thought of his elder brother’s character, his expression dimmed. "I know you were trying to save me, but then... what exactly is that Jade Pendant?"

"Have you ever heard about Elder Ji’s affairs?" Kong Denghui asked, his gaze burning.

Elder Ji?

Kong Lingci’s face froze, his eyeballs rolling white as if he had recalled something horrifying.

Elder Ji was also an Elder in name.

But that title of "Elder" was nothing like an ordinary Elder at all.

In fact, because Elder Ji had disappeared for so long, the younger generation nowadays had nearly forgotten such a big shot ever existed.

Yet in the many legends within the Huashan Sect, Elder Ji was absolutely a near-mythical figure.

"So that Jade Pendant belonged to that Supreme Elder!"

Up to this point, Kong Lingci finally understood, though his face still held anger. "I just don’t get it. That old man belonged to the previous generation, and rumors say he has already passed on as an Immortal. Why would his Jade Pendant still remain in the world?"

"He hasn’t passed on; he lives in seclusion in a blessed spot somewhere halfway up the mountain." Kong Denghui spoke in a firm tone.

"Halfway up the mountain? Is there a cave-dwelling there?"

Kong Lingci was utterly puzzled.

The main peak of Huashan Sect was very tall, with many places still retaining their original aura, never developed.

He had gone up and down the mountain several times, yet he truly had never seen the so-called blessed land his big brother mentioned.

"That blessed land is protected by a special restriction. Only those Elder Ji wishes to see can enter. If Elder Ji refuses, even I am not qualified to meet him."

A trace of bitterness surfaced on Kong Denghui’s face. "Don’t be fooled by the way I act like I fear no one in the Inner Sect. When it comes to Elder Ji, I’m still not worth mentioning."

"Big Brother, I’m sorry. I wrongly blamed you before!"

At this point, Kong Lingci finally understood the whole story. His big brother chose to let the matter slide so he wouldn’t offend Elder Ji.

"Virtuous Brother, don’t bring this up again. A fall into the pit, a gain in your wit." Kong Denghui comforted him gently.

"But Big Brother!"

When he spoke of this, hatred flickered in Kong Lingci’s eyes. "Does this mean, just because that piece of Jade Pendant is in Qin Hao’s hands, we can’t touch him anymore? He’s the one who screwed me over this badly!"

"Not necessarily." Kong Denghui picked up the teacup on the table. "Elder Ji has always had a limit to how much he’ll shelter the younger generation. The first time I backed off, it was to give Elder Ji some face. But if a second time the same thing happens, I will definitely strike and kill Qin Hao!"

Here he paused. "Elder Ji isn’t someone who blindly protects his own. On the contrary, he’s always been the hands-off type with the prodigies he values. For example, his own granddaughter—right now she’s number one on the Bright Monument. Have you seen Elder Ji ever lift a hand to help her?"

"No..." Kong Lingci recalled Ji Yue’Er’s face and nodded earnestly.

"So, Virtuous Brother, rest easy. As long as there’s a chance, I will definitely kill that little bastard Qin Hao!"

Speaking of Qin Hao, Kong Denghui’s face twisted as well. "I’ll let him know what it really means to be cut to pieces!"

...

...

In the mountains, time is meaningless.

This saying is especially true among Cultivators.

It had been seven days since the "Master Kong" incident.

For seven days, Qin Hao and the Jin Family siblings had stayed behind closed doors. No one knew what they were busy with inside.

And in order to pry out the truth, people would "happen" to pass by the Wang Mansion from time to time.

Unfortunately, because the Wang Mansion’s defenses were excellent, no one obtained any useful information.

"It’s been so many days. Why hasn’t Qin Hao come out yet?"

Early morning, in the house across the street from the Wang Mansion, disciples sent by other factions to scout news sat under the eaves, faces full of frustration.

"What do you know? This is called making a fortune in silence. After getting his hands on a treasure like a Void Storage Ring, if he came out strolling he’d just die faster. Obviously the king’s way is to hide at home and recuperate."

"True enough. It’s just, I’m really jealous of that little turtle bastard Qin Hao! He did nothing and still got a Void Storage Ring!"

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, what are you jealous of? Haven’t you heard the news? The big shots in the Outer Courtyard are all saying they’re going to deal with Qin Hao and snatch that Void Storage Ring!"

"They say even that Demon King Wei Qingtian is thinking of coming out of seclusion..."

"Wei Qingtian? Damn! If he makes a move, isn’t Qin Hao as good as dead?"

...

Inside the Wang Mansion, in the room near the window.

Qin Hao sat on a stool at the side of the bed. His ears twitched slightly, picking up the conversation of the two people by the roadside, and he shook his head helplessly. "What bullshit Wei Qingtian. If he dares to come, I’ll beat him till he’s looking for his teeth on the ground."

After venting, Qin Hao turned his gaze to the Pill Furnace in front of him.

In front of him burned a ball of flame, roasting the Pill Furnace above.

The lid couldn’t hold back the intense medicinal fragrance, and the entire room was filled with a rich, herbal scent.

Creak.

The door to the room opened, and Jin Kui and Jin Ni’Er walked in carrying food.

"Boss, breakfast is a bit shabby today. Can you make do with it?"
